If he was 50,000 ahead, I would worry. But as it is, it seems that the repug is in trouble, he needs to build a big firewall in red counties, he does not seem to be doing that.

Seriously, relax. It’s going to take a while for any substantial returns to come in.

b/c some precincts ran out of ballots - so they held the polls open til 7:00 (like Gary).

Really heavy early voting in Monroe County - by the end of Friday around 77,000 had been counted.

It is going to be tough - but the canary still has a lot of song left in her.

Large traditional Democratic base area-- big union, large African-American population.

The cities usually go Dem big, but report later than the little rural counties.

We could be waiting a while for final results this evening. There is still a long line at the ISU voting location. There are three voting booths at that location. We’re told it could still be two hours before everyone in line is through. @WTHITV
